According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, 331 of 502 randomly selected U.S. adults interviewed said they would not be bother

k0ka [10]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124$

$p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=502 represent the random sample taken

X=331 represent the adults that said they would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

$\hat p=\frac{331}{502}=0.659$ estimated proportion of people who would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

$p_o=0.5$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than the majority of 0.5:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.5$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.

A target with a diameter of 14cm has 4 scoring zones by concentric circles. The diameter of the center circle is 2 cm. The width

Leni [432]

Answer:

$48.98\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability that it will hit a point in the outer (yellow) ring is equal to divide the area of the yellow ring by the total area of the target

step 1

Find the area of the yellow ring

$A=\pi [7^{2} -5^{2}]$

$A=24\pi\ cm^{2}$

step 2

Find the total area of the target

$A=\pi [7^{2}]$

$A=49\pi\ cm^{2}$

step 3

Find the probability

$24\pi/49\pi=0.4898$

Convert to percentage

$0.4898*100=48.98\%$

At Davidson's Bike Rentals, it costs $17 to rent a bike for 3 hours.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$5.67

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is 17 divided by 3 to figure out how much it costs for one hour, that equals 5.666, but you have to round it to the nearest cent, which equals 5.67. ;)

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 110 m two of the links are 40 and 30 m what is the area of the triangle

sp2606 [1]

You have to use the formula to find the area of the triangle Remember,the area equation is b times h to the b divided by 2.Doing this will get you 600 m.
